Riemann's non-differentiable function and Gauss's quadratic reciprocity law have attracted the attention of many researchers. In \cite{RM} Murty and Pacelli gave an instructive proof of the quadratic reciprocity via the theta-transformation formula and Gerver \cite{G1} was the first to give a proof of differentiability/non-differentiability of Riemnan's function. The aim here is to survey some of the work done in these two questions and concentrates more onto a recent work of the first author along with Kanemitsu and Li \cite{K1}. In that work \cite{K1} an integrated form of the theta function was utilised and the advantage of that is that while the theta-function $\Theta(\tau)$ is a dweller in the upper-half plane, its integrated form $F(z)$ is a dweller in the extended upper half-plane including the real line, thus making it possible to consider the behaviour under the increment of the real variable, where the integration is along the horizontal line.
